Life and Death by David Sedaris

Date of Review:  May 26, 2009
The Bottom Line: Cheers to David Sedaris for making me laugh.
Review: After the unexpected controversy raised by my last book review, I thought I'd tackle something a little more lighthearted. I've recently become a fan of David Sedaris, a writer, comedian, radio personality, and author of half a dozen hilarious...

Anyone Have a Bucket of Water?

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: Sedaris' latest collection of essays is punctuated by guffaws and belly laughs - but only punctuated, as opposed to liberally sprinkled...

"When You Are Engulfed In Flames:" Mildly Amusing Memoirs From A Man Sitting Still.

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2009

Review: I suspect that there is some sadist in my fiance. While my mother annoyingly criticizes my driving and clings to the door for her very life, my fiance picked up books to read aloud to me as I drove us on our first long distance trip. This, in...

When you are engulfed in laughter

Date of Review:  Feb 6, 2009
The Bottom Line: If you have an open mind and a sense of humor this is definitely an entertaining book.
Review: I stole this book from my boyfriend after hearing his constant laughter next to me. David Sedaris has to be one of the funniest authors out there. He actually made me laugh, at home, by myself. The book is a collection of episodes in Sedaris s own...
